Not everyone on the team can be the star player every single game. For many players the goal is to find their role and take it. Sure you may not ever be a statistical leader but you can still make a meaningful impact on a team. Players can make it far by knowing what they’re good at and working on it.
This is especially true on a team like Nebraska who has had a hard time finding scorers over the past few years. Yes, you have teams like Kentucky and Kansas who get the top recruits at every position and can not only shoot but also rebound and if they’re feeling generous some assists.
